A big red sports car roared across the Las Vegas Strip before finally flicking its tail into a parking spot outside a restaurant. After the car turned off, a black man came down.

Harry had long heard the familiar roar of engines outside. He walked out of the restaurant and saw the black man wearing a sequined denim suit, and couldn't help but smile and walked over and said, "Aren't you afraid that those pieces of metal on your body will scratch your baby car?"

The black man who came was Bill. This guy is just as much in love with the average black American. His sports car was bought second-hand and modified, and it was so neat that it was flaunted everywhere like a new car. I get several speeding tickets every month.

The two came to a hug. Bill pinched the sequins on his body: "It's plastic, it's soft." ”

Harry smiled and said, "Just kidding. Go get a drink first. Link should be almost there. ”

Bill said as he walked towards the restaurant, "Why did Link play mysteriously like a this time?

"I don't know, but he says it's a good thing. ”

Link didn't bring a bodyguard this time, and drove himself to the Link & Halli Western Restaurant. The waiter in the lobby had been instructed to tell him that Harry and Bill were waiting for him in the office.

He went straight to Harry's office, and outside the door he heard the two of them laughing.

He knocked symbolically at the door, then pushed it open and said, "You seem to be saying something glad." ”

Bill turned his chair to face him and said, "We're talking about what good news you're going to bring us!"

Link closed the office door and said as he walked inside, "Good news indeed. For example, you can get five million dollars. ”

Bill whistled and said, "Did you guess the next Powerball or Mega Millions number?"

"I hope so, too. If I had guessed, I would have bought a billion dollars. "That would allow him to win at least twenty trillion dollars — if the business can afford to lose it." He smiled and sat down in another chair and said. "I don't think you will forget Jaime Guslet. ”

"What's wrong with that old bastard?"

"He compensated us fifteen million dollars for what he did to us, and of course, he didn't apologize!"

Bill was stunned for a moment and said, "oo~ I heard that he is about to go bankrupt, did you do it?"

"I just shoved him. I don't know if he's bankrupt or not, and I don't care, but I know he can't stay in Nevada. It is said that he is planning to move to Florida. ”

Link said this, smiling and saying, "But guys, don't you think what to do with that fifteen million is the key?"

Harry thought for a moment and said, "Link, that's your money!"

Bill nodded and said, "Harry is right. Link, you shouldn't have asked us about this. ”

Hearing their refusal, Link smiled and said, "That's not my money." It's compensation for the three of us who lost the opportunity to go to college. So we're five million each. ”

Despite what he said, Harry was also in business. Of course, he did not believe that James Guslet would willingly pay the so-called reparations. He knew that the money must have been used by Link to force Guslet to give in in the name of compensation by commercial means or other means. So he doesn't think that the money has its own share.

Harry smiled and shook his head, "Link, thank you for your kindness. But I don't think my life is worse than that of a college student looking for a job. You see, I'm running my own restaurant, and those college students are probably struggling to get a job. ”

Bill also said seriously: "I want more money though. But that's not mine. Link!"

Link tapped his finger twice on Harry's desk and said, "But guys, if it weren't for the fact that we couldn't go to school, I wouldn't care if it was eighteen million dollars or three million dollars." Moreover, I used that to push the price down, and as a result, I took all the money myself. You guys are my best friends, and if I do that, I'll look down on myself. You know what?"

Harry and Bill looked at each other. Harry said, "Okay, we get it. But go directly to your fund. ”

"I agree!"

Link laughed and said, "What's the difference between that and me taking it alone?"

Harry asked, "So what are you going to do?" ”

"If you divide the money in this way, it will only cheapen the tax office. I'm going to use this money for investment, do you have any good advice?"

Bill shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I can't even keep my own garage busy right now, and I haven't thought about any good investment projects." Harry, what about you?"

Harry pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I recently discovered a problem. About the western restaurant. ”

Link was surprised: "I think the western restaurant is running well, what's the problem?"

Harry laughed and said, "That's because I had no previous experience. Ill-conceived. He held out his left hand and said. "This is our branch for the general public. This is a branch that is mainly aimed at high-end customers, and this is the one we are in now. He said and held out his right hand.

He shook his hands and said, "I would say this is my right hand, and my left hand." But when others look at it, they will only say, it's all my hands. ”

Bill didn't understand what he was saying: "And then?"

Link understood: "Are you saying that two completely different restaurants create the illusion of consumers?"

"Link, you're right. The Las Vegas Strip stores can only go the upscale route because of the cost problem, so the cost is 40% to 50% higher than other branches. But it has the same name as the other branches. That gives the customer a sense of confusion. Some people will think that we are chaotic management, and some people will think that we are treating us differently. Some customers even come back after dining at other branches, and find that the prices here are very different, and complain to the consumer association. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "It's still just a high-end branch, and if we open more high-end branches in the future, if it's still like this, I'm worried that customers won't be able to accurately locate the grade of our restaurant." Ordinary people think that our high-end restaurants are worried about high consumption. And high-income people think that we are low-end restaurants and are reluctant to come. I'm worried that will affect the growth of our restaurant. ”

"Then build two brands. Link said this without even thinking about it. "We can form a company and operate two brands at the same time, one high-end and one low-grade, without interfering with each other. ”

Harry laughed and said, "I think that way too. I've identified this issue before, but I'm thinking about not opening a fine dining restaurant for the time being. Start by spreading as many of the regular grades as possible, and then use the capital flow they generate to open a high-end store of another brand. ”

Link also remembered that the western restaurant had stopped expanding for half a year. He asked, "The restaurant is running low on water right now?"

"Of course not. Harry shook his head and said. "In fact, now our funds allow us to open a regular branch every month. It's just that you know, it's also very risky to do catering. I'm worried about big economic fluctuations. I hope to have some money left to hedge against the risks. ”

"You're thinking too much. Link said with a smile. "If you want to open a branch, as long as you can manage it. How much do you want, borrow directly from my bank. ”

"The problem just can't be managed!" Harry laughed. "You know, I now have to watch online courses from several prestigious universities every night on business management. I hope to improve myself. Many people only get one chance and there is no second time after failure. I should have been many times because of you Link. But I don't want to be a loser. I'd rather succeed later. ”

Link was a little embarrassed by his sensational "speech" and said, "Okay, let's talk about what you think of that fifteen million." ”

"Maybe we can put that money into it and create a brand of upscale restaurants. I have a name in mind, and it's called Tricolor Grass. ”

Bill didn't understand, "Tricolor?

"Nothing. But it represents the grassroots that we are connected to. "When they met, they were really grassroots, and they were grassroots together for a while.

"You're insensitive!" Bill said with a laugh. "But I like the name. ”

Link thought of another question: "Do you want two different companies?"

"No, it can be two separate brands, but it can be managed by one company. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Okay, those fifteen million will be invested in this brand." ”

"Then let's talk about how to divide the shares of the tricolor brand. Harry said as he looked at Bill. "Bill, you've got to put your name on the company. It's good to be a high-level or something. Otherwise, it will not be good to give you shares. As for the previous brand "Link & Harry", it is not included in this allocation.

"Yes. ”

Harry said to Link again, "I plan to use this store as the main store of Tricolor, do you have any problems?"

"Nope. ”

"You own 90 percent of the business, and it's now valued at about $1.5 million. Add that fifteen million dollars, and we can calculate it as a total of 16.5 million dollars. You contribute $6.5 million, and Bill and I contribute $5 million each......"

Link listened to his calculations, waved his hand and said, "On the brand of tricolor, Bill and I each have 30%. You have to manage, 40%. That's it. ”

Bill raised his hand and said, "I agree with Harry's 40 percent, but I'm 30 percent too much." I don't have to do anything. Taking that much will also make you feel uneasy. ”

Link glanced at him and said with a smile, "That's it!"

Bill shrunk at his glance, as if he had returned to his school days. At that time, Link would still use his fists from time to time. But this time he wasn't afraid that Link would hit him, but the power in Link's eyes made him cringe unconsciously.

Harry would have liked to oppose that division as well. He felt that even if he wanted to favor them, it should be divided according to the proportion of the amount he calculated to invest.

It's just that Link smiled when he spoke at this time, but his tone couldn't be denied.

This was the first time he had seen such a link.

On second thought, Link clearly wanted to make it up to them. He no longer refused Link's kindness and said, "Good." Then divide it as you say. I will complete the formalities as soon as possible. ”

Since it is two brands with different shares, it is necessary to set up a company to manage it together, and of course the information about the change of the company must also be done.

After talking about business, the three of them talked about some more things, and then they dispersed.
